Local attorney committed to empowering women among annual YWCA honorees

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – She’s been a legal powerhouse in Hawaii for more than two decades.

This week, attorney Crystal Rose will be among a group of esteemed Hawaii women honored by the YWCA for their commitment to eliminating racism and empowering women – something Rose exemplifies daily in her work as a litigator.

From her childhood spent in Hilo to a career as one of Hawaii’s most accomplished and creative litigators, Rose has become a beacon for women in Hawaii.

“When I first started practicing, there wasn’t as many women in law as is there is today. So I’m proud of that,” Rose said. “Obviously, there’s more women in law school now as there are men. Those are all good things.”
